3D Mark 2003 a joke?
How many people out there think that 3d Mark 2003 is a joke. I think it is, it's built around DirectX 9, so if you don't have a DirectX 9 card, it will give you bad results. Plus there aren't even any DirectX 9 games out yet. The DirectX 8 games are now just starting to show up.

umm icallmedan I bet...no....I know there are people still on 455mhz here.
about your statement about Directx8 just not starting to show up is wrong. Maybe not all the features of coding being used in one game but they use it greatly in every game thats been out in the last who knows how long.

If they support they can use the features....most cards are compatable but dont support.
